I have received many judgments for the way I parent my children. I have been told I go over board when I restrict my kids diets. I was told cloth diapering is gross. I have been called irresponsible for not vaccinating my kids. People seem to think I judge them for formula feeding their babies when I breastfed mine. I have been thought as neglectful for not rushing my kids to a doctor when when they are sick. When in the end I do all these things because I feel what is the best for my own children.

Funny Story Time:
Grace and Eli have a little cold (don't worry that is not the funny part!) so I have been giving them extra elderberry syrup for their immune systems and lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus oil for their other cold symptoms. Yesterday as the kids are roll playing they are sick, Grace was pretending to give Eli elderberry syrup and rubbing oils on his feet instead of pretending she is doctor giving him cold syrup and Advils. Yup, we're a little unconventional over here.
